why if moin ali throw the wicket keeper and woakes try to run out raydu bopaara come from boundary to pick up ball and moin ali directly collect the ball.Dhoni followers cannot accept reality.
It was Dhoni's over confidence that cost india the match.Ambati Raiydu was playing in the team as a batsman, yet dhoni kept him out of strike for most of the time.Thats poor captaincy from Dhoni,as a captain's trust on his player is very important. This can also hamper the confidence of Ambati Raiydu. At last I want to say that Dhoni's overconfidence and poor captaincy cost India the match.
Dhoni, an awkward and untechnical bat refusing a genuine, frontline bat the strike and thus brings on, an unanticipated defeat.
Does cross bat heaves and slogging always get you victory even in the shortest format. Cricket is a game of skill, art and craft and you don't always bludgeon it away for an eternal supremacy..
A fool at the helm supported by more fools like Shilpa Bhains, Sheetal Krack among others..

Common, he has won many from those positions! He could have easily rotated the strike and given the strike to Rayudu who was not set and then blame him.
He is losing tests, which is not ideal, however there cannot be any question on his leadership in such situations...remember promoting himself in the world cup finals.
He takes such responsibilities on his shoulders and ready to handle failure if required.

How do technically skill batsmen hit a shot pitched ball?... with a cross bat. Does this mean they are not skilled?
Ambati Rayudu missed a couple of deliveries in the previous over and his confidence was shaky, especially for the last over. Mahi did the right thing by not rotating the strike in the last over. As a captain he could have given the strike to a new comer in the international games and put the blame on Rayudu for losing the match. As a good leader he took the responsibility to score 17 runs in the last over but missed it. Good leadership.
However, Mahi is not suitable as a captain in the Tests. Out of 12 tests in last few years in England(2 series) and one series in Australia Mahi lost 11 tests and won only one test. It is absolutely clear that BCCI and Indian players are not interested in Tests as ODI and T20I produce big money as compared to Test series. Many of these players do not even play Ranji matches. I remember, long time back, Faroukh Engineer was dropped from a Test series as he did not play in Ranji, while he was busy playing in county in England.
BCCI should send Indian players in England to play county and minor county matches and playing in Ranji must be compulsory for all players. Remember Mohinder Amarnath improved his hook shots by playing in minor county in England.
If BCCI is not interested in playing Tests, then they should withdraw their name from Test playing countries and give chance to some other country like Afghanistan, Canada, Holland, UAE etc.
